38,000 feet

I’ve had writers block all week.

That, and I’ve been insanely busy.

I was blessed to be able to attend a Diversity/Leadership/Be
a better person type of training through work, so was out of the office
Tuesday-Thursday. Needless to say, just because I’m out of the office doesn’t
mean the work disappears too, so I had some catching up to do every night.

Needless to say, this guy was my best friend this week:

Nonetheless, I like to think that the training helped me to
reset my moral compass a bit. These two quotes this week stuck hard with me,
and I wanted to share...

Anyways, I apologize for neglecting you all.

I’m currently sitting at 38,000 feet, and according to my
flight tracker we are traveling at 480 mph. Pretty cool huh? Gotta love airplane
wifi, it always feels magical.

Funny story, I ran 12 after my last day of training
yesterday, and chose to do so on the BWI trail, which is literally a large loop
around the Baltimore airport. I parked right near an area where planes were
coming in to land; it was pretty cool to watch.

Anyways, when taking off not 45 minutes ago, I realized we flew
right over that same park that I had parked at not 24 hours ago. I don’t know
why but it made me happy and I sat here smiling and now the man next to me
definitely thinks I’m a nut.

I’m a cool kind of nut.

I’m chi-town bound for a House-cooling party tonight, a
Bachlorette Party tomorrow, and some family time Sunday and Monday. I’m pretty
stoked for all of it… as always, the trip is coming at a damn good time.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t currently pounding some
DD iced coffee to get mentally prepared for the evening. Now’s not the time to
be napping Kait.

Have I ever mentioned that I hate naps? Hate them. Such a
waste of life.

Really, I don’t have much else to report. If we’re being
honest I’m currently staring down the flight attendant with the basket of
snacks. Something I feel like I need to
publically admit: My eating habbits have been far from the best lately. I’m
actually looking forward to starting fresh on Sunday and falling back into my
paleo-type recipes.

I think that’s all folks. A couple of miles may happen along
the lake while I’m in the city, who knows. I won’t count on it because it’s always
an adventure when my college teammates and I team up. Always.
